I LOVE your work! I found this when doing a Google search on what I could make out of a box of my absolute treasured glass things that were totally crushed in a move. I can't throw them out. I have too many memories, and treasure this stuff. So, you have inspired me! Thanks!

Amazing work and I loved the speech at the convention. I now get a better idea of working intuitively. I find my best work happens that way. Some day I hope to go to a SAMA convention and be with all the other artists and learn even more. Thank you for these videos.

Thank you for this video. I'm using it with my Frontier Girls troop tomorrow evening. We're working on our mosaics badge and this allows us to virtually visit you the artist. We'll also spend a little time on your website. Thank you for explaining your process so well. And I just realized you are in Dallas. We are in the area. Hitting your website to see more. Thank you!

Hi Sonia! We met in Ravenna 2015. It was nice to meet you there. I already had your book at that time, but it was such a pleasure to see you and of course your mosaic there in Ravenna. It's such a different experience if you see a mosaic on a picture or if you really stand in front of a mosaic. I wish you all the best. Best regards from Slovenia.

Extraordinaria, su obra y su técnica. Quisiera saber si el papel sobre el que pegó las tecelas se quita o queda incluido sobre el soporte final

Just a note, I was switching out my hammer/hardie setup when they came to film and this one is not fully installed. It should be much deeper in the log, down to the widest part of the hardie ;-)

Hi - awesome! Where do you get your tiles? Also, what is the reason for gluing on the tiles with the underside facing up? Thank you for your response.
@SoniaKingMosaicArtist6 жыл бұрын
I source tile from all over the world. I do have a supplier list on my website under resources. The are glued face down as this project was done using the reverse technique so the floor would be flat.

Beautiful work! Couple quick questions - what is the working time for your thinset? And is it possible to use Unsanded mortar instead of thinset?
@SoniaKingMosaicArtist6 жыл бұрын
Thank you! working time is about 3 hours in the pot, about 10-15 minutes on the board. Get the longest working time possible and keep it covered when you aren't using it. Mortar is not a substitute for thinnest. It is not an adhesive. Kind regards

You have so jars of tiles - i'm guessing - with subtle color variations. How do sort them after you're done working? Or do you use everything you put on your work surface and not have to put any back? Beautiful work!
@SoniaKingMosaicArtist10 жыл бұрын
If it's obvious, I put them back where they belong. If it's too difficult, I make a jar of generic aqua or whatever that has a mix.

What's the advantage of gluing them to the paper first?
@joseedupont240911 жыл бұрын
I want to get started on making mosaics but I am overwhelmed with the choices of tile available online. Do you have any recommendations?
@paulinehunt40692 жыл бұрын
I agree. Backings, adhesives tiles for indoors tile for out doors, grout. Some people use patterns some donot. List goes on.
